Something that makes me cringe is when someone suggests that Team X should "Race up to the podium with their draft card if player x is available"...as if they might not get that player if they take the normal pace.

What do you hate/are sick of hearing?

If I may expand this to sports in general I can't stand the term "score the ball".

Over used and completely meaningless. The player turns out to be a scrub then what? How many times have we seen a guy "fall" to round 2 or 3 and end up not being anything special and all the experts are in disbelief that he fell.

Nothing really bothers me that much, tbh, if anything I'm just impressed at how these guys can sit their hours upon hours upon hours on draft weekend and still never run out of shit to say.

The only thing that really gets me is when guys make a factual error, pronounce a guy's name wrong, or completely ignore a pick the Rams just made to talk about some pick a big market team made hours ago.
